Prescribed Burn at Angostura State Park set for May 2
Rapid City, S.D. – South
Dakota Wildland Fire is planning a prescribed burn on the north end of
Angostura Reservoir in coordination with Angostura State Park on Friday, May 2,
2025. The burn will be in the vicinity of the park’s Visitor Center,
Cheyenne Campground, and Summer Sun Trailer Park.
Portions of North Angostura
Road may be intermittently closed due to smoke. Mop-up and monitoring will
continue in the following days. If weather conditions are not favorable for any
reason, the prescribed burn will be rescheduled.
Firefighters are planning to
burn approximately 130 acres. Objectives include reducing the amount of
invasive grass, increasing the quantity of native grasses, and decreasing the
risk of potential future wildfires by reducing fire fuels including thatch and
other dead vegetation.
Smoke may be visible in the surrounding areas and can linger
for several days after ignition. Fire crews will secure, patrol, and monitor
fire lines as appropriate for public and firefighter safety.
Angostura State Park will be
open as usual, but visitors may experience delays near the prescribed burn
area. For more information about park accessibility contact Andrew Kathman, 605.745.6996,
Angostura Recreation Area, District Park Supervisor.
